Blagojevich is still the governor; the state supreme court refused to declare him unfit; he has not been impeached; and there is absolutely no indication that he "purchased" the position. One reader said that the election taught us not to play "racial cards." I say the election should have taught us not to rush to judgment and listen to everything the media feeds us. This blogger has decided to judge Burris in terms of politics -- not the Palinizing drama that some journalists have already instigated. http://dissentingjustice.blogspot.com/2009/01/some-media-outlets-begin-palinizing.htmlDarren Lenard Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303769200481824426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-67604140000995688052008-12-30T22:55:00.000-05:002008-12-30T22:55:00.000-05:00Won't be seated?

As of this point Blago hasn't been convicted, hasn't been impeached and hasn't resigned. <BR/><BR/>Appointment of a successor is the exclusive privilege of a governor.truthspewhttp://truthspew.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-91943817979155519412008-12-30T22:36:00.000-05:002008-12-30T22:36:00.000-05:00I feel awful for Roland Burris.

I do, however, question Burris' judgement in even entertaining accepting a Blagojevich appointment. And what is up with Rep. Bobby Rush bringing in the race card? Give me a break. The results of the last presidential election show it is time to stop playing the race card Mr. Rush! <BR/>Pray for us Illinois citizens and realize, PLEASE, that all the sleeze is coming from Chicago. Downstate, whose citizens overwhelming did NOT support Blagojevichs reelection, is embarrassed by the politics of the windy city. I have worked in state government for 25 years and this is the worst administration in my history. Blagos cronies have no idea how to run government agencies and it will take years for us to recover.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-67560998448137074192008-12-30T14:19:00.000-05:002008-12-30T14:19:00.000-05:00The senate is already working on ways to block Bur...The senate is already working on ways to block Burris from taking the seat -- as they said they would do with any Blagojevich appointment -- so it's probably not worth looking at his record on LGBT issues (or any other issues), since he's unlikely to actually assume the seat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
